Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? apt-get install steam-launcher, then running
steam to install the steam client
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? Initially I tried the solutions as shown on various websites
to get around the missing libGL.so.1:i386, including trying to symlink from
mesa. But mesa was not so much the problem. The big issue is that mesa, nvidia,
and amd all provide their own versions of libGL.so.1:i386 and there should be a
check for the installed graphics drivers at install of steam-launcher, then
symlink the correct one or prompt the installation of the missing driver files.
In my case libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386.
* What was the outcome of this action? After libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 was
installed alongside libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, the steam client ran fine.
* What outcome did you expect instead? The requirement of libGL.so.1:i386
for the Steam client has been known for years now. There should be a simple
ifexist for it and the configuration process should install the relative
package if it does not, or prompt the user to.
